I’m so jealous! This sounds like a great environment and a lot of hard work! Sounds like you are very far away from school – how does that work?

Good luck in your studies, keep us posted here! And congratulations for making it back!

Your blog reminds me my days about 30 years ago. I had studied English at CESL, Center for English as Second Language at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale for two months and stayed at dormitory. My roommate was the American and we enjoyed a lot on Saturdays and Sundays. However I studied on weekdays, Only swimming at pool was only my refleshment. I am very glad to have a great experiences.

Hi Dave,

It was fun to read all these! I miss Okazaki! I have pictures to send you, I have to “get around to it…” but I hope to do that before the end of this month.

Nice to read Dave! I went to Takayama this weekend and visited a little village in that neighbourhood as well. I enjoyed Takayama as well

Hi Dave- san,

I am so glad to know you have been great in Japan and enjoying learning there!
It’s my first time to visit your blog, and made me ashamed that I haven’t updated my blog for a while.

Going to supermarket and buy a bento box is so Japanese.
I miss Delax bento which usually come with many different food such as simmered vegetable, Tempra ans sunomono etc.. in one bento box. Basically a little bit of everything! I love those style of bento!

Hope your school life is going well and have fun with learning Japanese as well as exploring the beautiful country!

Bummer about the beer museum. Got to wonder how often they get tidal wave warnings. I’d like to see a picture of your bike. Must be similar to a beach cruiser. Sounds like quite a whirl wind start to a class. I figured you had a better handle on the language than you gave yourself credit for. You must be swamped though as you haven’t wrote for a couple of days now. Can’t wait to hear more!
